Messi Tried To Give His Jersey To A Little Boy, But Security Made Sure That Didn't Happen

Lionel Messi is unique among athletes in that there are lots of people who think it's totally worth getting arrested just to be a little nearer to him. American sports don't see near the amount of fans running on to fields that soccer does, especially in regards to Messi. One young fan appeared to have made the most of his pitch-invaderdom following Barcelona's game against Malaga, hugging Messi and ending up with a game-worn Messi jersey.

And then the security guards decided to keep the Messi jersey for themselves.

Messi Autographed A Man's Back. The Signature Will Be There Forever

There are many Lionel Messi fans out there. Millions, certainly. Billions, possibly. A little harder to find are LIONEL MESSI FANS, who only pop up once in a blue moon. Via the Internet, we encountered one such gentleman today.

This LIONEL MESSI FAN had the good fortune to receive an opportunity to acquire the best soccer player in the world's autograph. So what did he have Messi sign? His back, right next to his gigantic Messi tattoo, featuring two of Messi's trophies: the 2012 Copa del Rey trophy and the 2015 Copa del Rey trophy.

Understand The Science Behind Messi’s Insane Curved Goals

Messi cannot break the laws of physics. As much as some of his fans love to say that he does, and as magical as his talent may seem, it is physically impossible for him to break the laws of physics. It is impossible for all of us, independent of some sort of incredible technology, to break the laws of physics. With a ball at his feet, Messi must obey the same laws as everyone else in the world. He just happens to be the best in the world at pushing those laws to their very limits. He can put the ball wherever he wants, curve it however he wants, but how does he do it?

The Internet Maybe Found The Messi Fan In The Plastic Bag Messi Jersey

Remember the adorable little boy who made a Messi jersey out of a plastic bag and then went viral on the internet? If reports from various media organizations, most notably Sky News, are to be believed, his identity has been discovered at record speed even for the web.

A Kurdish television station is claiming to have found the boy, identified by them as a boy named Hamid, who lives in Dohuk, Kurdistan, in Iraq.

They showed him with a new(er) Barcelona number 10 jersey, ostensibly Messi's.

In 2006, Ronaldinho Said He Would Introduce Kobe To The Best Player Of All Time. It Was Messi

Kobe Bryant has retired, and as much as basketball fans will miss him and his unadulterated desire to win, we all now get to experience what I like to call “Victory Lap Kobe.” Victory Lad Kobe sells out stadiums everywhere he goes, because even the away fans of his most hated rivals still want to see the legend one in action last time.

Victory Lap Kobe has a certain appreciation of everything that’s going on around him because he knows everything he does could end up being the last time he does it, and he might not even know it at the time.

How Does Brady vs Manning Compare To Messi vs Ronaldo?

Sunday marks what could be the end of an era, as the NFL sees two of its greatest players face off for likely the final time: Brady vs Manning.

NFL fans around the world should realize how lucky they've been to have watched two of football's greatest players. (The same thing said of David Bowie by Twitter's @JeSuisDean holds true for this rivalry: "If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as Brady vs Manning.")

A 17-Year-Old Lionel Messi Puts On An Exhibition In This Rare Video

While Messi managed only 7 league appearances for the senior team, totaling 77 minutes of action, he was a guaranteed starter for the reserve side, Barcelona B. The boy from Rosario ensured that the senior team payed exceedingly close attention to his development with performances like this.

The World's Most Heartbreaking Messi Fan Made A Jersey Out Of A Plastic Bag

Sometimes we forget how truly global soccer's reach is, how extremely footballing superstars have burrowed into the global consciousness. Then we see a picture of a toddler (here we are just guessing) Messi fan wearing a plastic bag painted to look like a Lionel Messi Argentina jersey. 

Messi Puts The Importance Of Being Named Best Player In The World Into Perspective

Lionel Messi just took home his 5th Ballon d’Or, more than any other player in history. He is being hailed as the greatest player of all time, again. The world of football is his oyster today, but still he still feels he lacks something according to Messi's comments on the Ballon d'Or.

Messi Won The Ballon d'Or, But This Picture Will Live in Infamy

Messi won his fifth Ballon d'Or Monday, but his victory may have been overshadowed by the real star of the show, a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo greeting Messi's girlfriend, Antonella Roccuzzo, with Messi looking on awkwardly and Neymar looking like he's about to hop out of his seat and punch Ronaldo in the face.
